How to open pdfs directly in acrobat reader client side without using browser

When I sent a request to the pdf through servlet
the requested pdf is coming in a browser , but I want it to open in acrobat reader only . Is it possible ?

Hi,
Yes you can open in acroread. I am not sure about syntax. Cheak it in API's of java.lang.
It is somehow like this.
System.exec("<location of acroread>",<pdf file name>);
Check if it helps.
Thanks

  • Open PDF file on Acrobat Reader X on Document library file click

    Hi,
    Can you anyone tell me?
    How to open PDF file in reader from document library on pdf file click?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to open PDF file on Acrobat Reader X in SharePoint Document Library.
    We need to provide the OpenControl key in the DocIcon.xml and clients should use Acrobat X or Reader X to leverage.
    Here is a blog for your reference:

  • Open PDF file in Acrobat reader rather than SAP Document viewer...

    Hello everyone,
                    Whenever we attach a pdf file using Services for objects-->Store Business documents, an attachment list list is created and the file is archived in the repository.
    If we double click on it, the pdf is opened in SAP Document viewer and not in Acrobat Reader unlike word document....
    Can anyone tell me what configuration changes should be made and where so as to open pdf file in Acrobat?
    Similarily what changes should be made so as to open Email files in Outlook?

    Which version of the Acrobat Reader do you use?
    According to my experience with our desktop this might be a feature of ACROBAD READER X.
    Kind regards

  • HOW TO save PDF Forms in Acrobat Reader

    Hi,
    I have made a timesheet form in Acrobat Professional. The idea with this is to put it on our intranet site and let my collegues register their working hours there (today we have an excel form).
    The big advantage in using the PDF Form instead of the excel is the digital signatures function. This makes it possible for signing also when not in house - perfect in every aspect but....
    ...my collegues would like to save the timesheet before sending it. Printing is of no option since they are out on the road most of the time.
    In Adobe Professional this is no problem but in Acrobat Reader you cannot save anything but an empty form. I have searched for security levels in the form but I cannot find anything. Howcome can't you save the document you have made as a copy in Reader? Is there a way of getting around this issue? I cannot put all collegues on the Adobe Professional program, it would be too expensive.
    Please help! I hate having to go back to excel because of this malfunction.
    Best regards from Sweden
    Annika

    Sorry, I was wrong, we don't have the professional suite. We purchased the Creative Suite 3 Design standard. However the Adobe Acrobat program itself is version 8 professional.
    From what I understand the only way to make the form savable in Adobe reader for my collegues is that I buy also the Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
    The price for this extension is 1500 USD.
    To try to explain once more what I want to be done...
    I am making forms for my collegues, where they can fill in their travelling costs, their working hours etc etc. This they have to do once an month and then send to their boss. BUT my collegues have only Adobe Acrobat reader, and with that program you can only save an empty form, ie the form empties itself when saving. But of course my collegues wants a copy of their working hours, travelling costs saved on their own computer. Prints are not acceptable.
    Please help, I can't figure out how to open up the saving rights for my collegues in my adobe professional program...
    Sorry for beeing so dumb, but I don't understand...

  • Can't open PDFs with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

    I downloaded AR DC and cannot open PDFs while using Google Chrome.  I get a message that I have to accept the end user license but I can't find it.  If I switch to Firefox I can open the same PDF without a problem.  I am on MacBook Air Yosemite 10.10.3

    Chrome uses its own, built-in (and buggy) PDF viewer.

  • Opening PDF files in Acrobat Reader

    When I download PDFs I want them to open automatically in Reader (as opposed to opening them manually), as earlier versions of Safari allowed. Is there a way?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Duncan:
    I've just been through this tonight trying to print forms for a camp where my kids are going this summer....Safari kept taking the pdf to a QT file translation (or whatever--it displayed the big Q) and then it wouldn't print....nor could i drag and drop file to desktop like gif's and jpeg's...and no Acrobat tool menu...sound familiar?
    ok here's the deal that worked for me:
    quit adobe reader and safari (and all other apps just to make sure the computer gods are on your side);
    trash the adobe pdf viewer from the internet plugins folder in your library;
    relaunch acrobat reader and safari;
    go to the site where it was loading the page but not downloading the file...click on the pdf you want and it should start the download process to your download folder (whatever you've picked) and there you go...you still have to launch the files but it beats not being able to view them correctly or print them at all...I'll investigate further as I think this is a common problem...
    let me know if this helps

  • Cannot open pdf after installing Acrobat Reader XI

    Installed as recommended update.  Now attempts to open pdf produce the message that file "could not be opened because the associated helper application does not exist.  Change the association in your preferences."  What does this mean?  Running Windows XP.  Havve exhausted Acrobat help.

  • Get wierd screen when opening PDF file in Acrobat/Reader 9.5.2

    Here's the screen I now get when trying to open a Captivate-generated PDF in either Acrobat or Reader 9.5.2. Any thoughts?

    Hi Ronpref,
    I created a Captivated PDF file of size ~15 MB (created with Adobe Captivate 5.5) and opened it with Acrobat 9.5.2. I did not see any issue opening this file, all the contents were seen properly. As soon as I launched this PDF, it asked me to install Adobe Flash. Once installed, this PDF file was opened successfully and I could move forward/back within that captivate movie.
    You can check if this same issue is present on other machine with Acrobat 9.5.2. If not, then there are chances that this issue is specific to your machine.
    Alternatively, as I suggested earlier, try using Reader XI.
    Thanks.

  • Open PDF files in Acrobat plugin by default in web browser.

    Hi,,
    I am looking for a solution to open a pdf form a website or form local computer in any bowser within Acrobat plugin. I know we need to configure manually in each browser to enable pdf to be open in Acroabt console. You can see it  here     But What I am actually looking forwad is a script or something. Like if we have a document javascript to enable Acrobat plugin automatically. Something like this, which can be done automatically, not manually.
    Please share your answers.
    Thanks

    Not possible. A script in a PDF can't influence the way the browser or the system works.

  • How to open PDF file with the view I wish without many clicks

    I am getting many many scanned files daily and I'd like to able to skim thru each file as fast as possible.
    Since the way each file scanned is consistent, when I open it, I am clicking a button to rotate it counterclock, then click zoom-in a few times to be able to read the top portion to see if the file is of my interest.
    Can we customize the way the files are opened?  I wish that once I open it, it will be rotated (so that I don't have to tilt head to read it), and zoom in big enough for me to read it.
    I did try (I am new to this) "accessabitly settup assistant", but couldn't achieve my desired effect.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks.
    JQ

    Thank you for the suggestions. Appreciated it.
    Actually when I asked whether they could scan it differently, I was told "no" for that type of scanner they have, and they have been reading it the same way as I just start to do, for years.
    Maybe someone knows about what scanners have the feature to do these tricks?
    I tried the preference setting. It's still less manageable. However, I manage to be able to click 3 buttons to get to the top portion to be readable.
    First, I rotate it counterclock (which mess up the view zoom in setting preference).
    Then I click to "show one page" button;
    Then I clcik to make the document to fill the width. (at this point, the zoom in is about 79%).

  • The password features does not work. Open TB, and I can read my email without using the password. Why?

    I use a password for security. When I click onto TB, I do not have to use my password to read my emails or it will not download. I cannot figure out how to change my password. When I tried to set the master password,
    it claims to have confirmed the new one. But I have to use the old password, or I do not have to use a password at all to read my email, if it downloads. This is after I uninstalled and installed TB 24.4 three times.
    Now what, any ideas?

    Here is my understanding: the master password secures your saved passwords. In other works, it unlocks your password to connect to the server to send and receive mail. It doesn't prevent people who have access to your computer from opening Thunderbird and seeing what's already there.
    This article has an extended discussion of many methods to try to prevent others from reading your already downloaded mail: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Protecting_the_contents_of_the_profile_-_mail
